1.4 beta: Search history only shows one line

[benshepherd]

In Everything 1.3, I got a nice history popup like this, showing all my previous searches when I started typing:

In the 1.4 beta, I get the same popup, only the vertical size is squashed right down to one line:

Also (and this has been a bug since 1.3), if the Everything window spans two monitors, the history popup is in the wrong place - it won't span the monitor border like the window does.

Everything only shows 1 search history entry when Search as you type (Tools -> Options -> UI -> Search as you type) is enabled.

You can change the number of lines Everything shows by modifying your Everything.ini:

• Completely exit Everything (right click your Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
• Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
• Change the following line:
  search_history_always_suggest_visible_count_max=1
  to:
  search_history_always_suggest_visible_count_max=16
• Where 16 is the number of lines you wish to display.
• Save changes and restart Everything.

The dual display issue is on my things to fix list, thanks for the bug report.

Oh that's much better, thanks! I didn't think about looking in the INI file - I'll bear it in mind next time. Thanks for the quick response.

Everything 775b should fix the dual display issue.

I don't have a dual display setup, so I'm unable to test, if you test it, please let me know if it works, thanks.
